As I mentioned above, I have never seen non Indian spinners out bowling Indian spinners over a whole series at home.

While Swann is great and Monty has improved immensely, I think it's just down to the batting strengths of each side.

England have been the better batting side over the past couple of years, and now that most of their batsmen have finally learned how to play good spin, they were always going to score more runs than India.

85.5
Boult to Mathews, OUT, Caught at second slip! It was a length ball going across Angelo, who tried to hit it hard towards the leg side and got an outside edge that flew fast towards Guptill, who took a reflex catch in front of his face

One of these days, India will admit they have become an ordinary side. That currently they are arguably the worst bowling unit in the world, bar Bangladesh. That they are the worst fielding side in the world without any argument, which they kept on proving on the third day as Ishant Sharma dropped his third simple return catch in the fourth match he is playing this year. That the whitewashes in England and Australia didn't happen on doctored green tops. That a proud home record alone doesn't ensure future Test wins. That the ideal response to overseas batting failures is to work on techniques, and not to seek comfort in statistics at home. That no side won an away series with that kind of attitude.
